Abstract
This investigation uses archival data (circa 1954) to elucidate new details on Australia's first scientifically described dinosaur trackway, located at the Fireclay Caverns-Site A, Mount Morgan, Queensland. A high-resolution archival photograph reveals two additional prints, extending the known sequence from four to six tracks. Leveraging this extended dataset, we have quantified temporospatial variations to assess the trackmaker's locomotion. Our findings reveal a decrease in stride and step lengths towards the end of the trackway, accompanied by a slight directional shift from east-southeast to east and a reduction in walking speed from a maximum of 3.8–1.8 km/hr. The life reconstruction animation of the Fireclay Caverns-Site A trackmaker supports the walking gait calculated from the relative stride data and demonstrates biomechanically plausible limb movements. By incorporating non-traditional methods, such as temporal trackway analysis and its translation as a trackmaker animation, we establish a broader framework for conventional ichnological studies. This approach enhances our interpretation of the dynamic record encapsulated in fossil trackways, enabling us to visualise and scientifically scrutinise the behaviour of extinct trackmakers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
